In its daily expression of life, Salt Lake is the mentor of a cosmopolitan population in excess of a hundred thousand. Here are congregated the brawn, the muscle and brains of many races. Here is centered the opportunity to prove that the city beautiful can and does influence man to aspire to a higher plane. The way is open. There is room for vast improvement. To progress is to live, to give a more abundant expression to life. -- ineec Freshing ; tion down-trodde- n. ic i en-giv- en - PEN HENRY SEZ.

Democrats who are persistently howling hard times and attributing it all to the Republican administration of national affairs or maladministration as they style it will be hard put to square the report covering the building expenditures in 109 cities, selected at random, throughout the nation, which totaled $194,661,072 for the month of March. This is the greatest amount ever known in any one month in the history of the country, according to reliable statisticians. The biggest increases were noted in New York, Louisville, Pittsburg, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Rochester, Milwaukee, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, indicating conclusively that all sections of the nation are equally represented in the big building boom. The March building expenditures, although taken from only 109 cities, were shown to be fully four per cent in excess of the total of 163 cities for the largest previous month, April, in 1920. This, indubitably, indicates that the country has about returned to normalcy in the matter of building homes and business blocks, which are badly needed to keep pace with the natural expansion in. trade and population. It only remains for sanity and reason to dominate the relations of all concerned in this great revival to insure its continuation. There must be cultivated a degree of understanding, of mutual good will, of compromise as between the workers, the contractors, the supply houses and the men who want to build. In short, there must be less profiteering either in labor, materials, wages or hours, than there has been since the close of the war, or the eternal kibosh will hit the whole business. . ness.

There are about 4,000 troops still lingering in the vicinity of this famed stream doing duty for European nations, and their return to the home bailiwick will spell a complete end to American military participation in affairs across the pond. By and large, European nations now seem to be less relentless in their attitude towards Russia, who laid down during the war, than they are to the United States, who saved their bacon. Plans for the reconstruction and simultaneous exploitation of Russia are now a chief topic of discussion among European experts and politicians and will be enlarged upon at Genoa. Debtor European nations are apparently very much exercised by the fact that this nation has put in its claim to a division of the German reparations payment, allocated for the liquidation of the costs of allied occupation of German territory. They sense in this when not asked action by our government an attempt to but-i- n and are rather peeved because the administration has tossed a the Gerinto a nice little plan arranged to split-u- p monkey-wrenc- h man pot of gold. The French premier tritely explains that just as America is not bound by the Versailles treaty terms, so the allies are not bound by the terms of the Berlin treaty. In the meanwhile there arc no new developments concerning the payment by the allies to the United States of the interest of principal of the great war debt. This is a subject apparently tabooed. |
